Research

Wesley Greene, Garden Historian:

Research on 18th-century vegetable varieties is an ongoing project
conducted by Colonial Williamsburg's landscape department to identify
varieties suitable for use in The Revolutioniary City gardens. The scope of this
project is to provide guidelines for all major groups of vegetables. This
is a large and complex field of inquiry and input from historians, gardeners
or other interested parties is welcomed. If you have any information that
you would like to share, or comments on existing research, please contact:
